ABOUT BARE SPORTS
We're not just in your element, we were born there—in a small shop on the coast of British Columbia, BARE is the brainchild of two divers hellbent on crafting a drysuit capable of surviving the frigid waters of the Canadian Pacific Ocean. With every stitch, our founders innovated. Through every failure, they pushed. Not for profit. For performance. To provide the sport of diving with equipment that fit better, functioned better, and lasted longer. Since 1972, we've continued to push, with innovations like our industry-leading Omnired thermal technology category of thermal technology, our impenetrable and breathable No-Stitch Technology, and our relentless dedication to Fit, Craftsmanship and Innovation. Heart and passion drive every suit we make. Because, like our founders, our designers don't just make the suits, they dive in them. It's this strong culture and unrelenting dedication that has taken us from that small shop in British Columbia to a truly global brand. And we're just breaking the surface. So, if you need us, we won't be hard to find. Always, we'll be in your heart, flowing through you, In Your Element.

We approach everything from the explorer’s perspective, taking into account specific environmental conditions and body movements in all possible situations. Getting the right fit in your suit is absolutely vital to the safety, comfort, and overall success of your dive. That’s why we work tirelessly to develop suits that fit every diver. Our in-house design has been perfecting our fit for over 40 years through advancements in the latest technologies, our own personal diving experiences, and our ambassadors, then combining this knowledge into suit construction. We sweat every detail of the fit, developing complex patterns with articulated arms and legs to achieve anatomically correct patterning for a 3D shape, using bias-cut fabrics with inherently more stretch than the alternative, and thoughtfully placing seams that contribute to a snug fit and enhanced aqua dynamics. As a result, each wetsuit model is offered in a large range of sizes to give you options to really, truly, fit.
CRAFTSMANSHIP
BARE Sports was founded on the sole principle of uncompromising craftsmanship, so it’s no surprise that it remains one of our core pillars of quality. Our suits are handmade by the same craftsmen and women that have been making BARE drysuits for over 44 years. Every technique and detail is inspired by our passion to manufacture the best products. We don’t cut corners; instead, we look for ways to build products that exceed our customer’s expectations. From innovative construction techniques, such as No Stitch Technology, to positioning fabrics on the bias to improve flexibility and stretch, we believe that our intentionality and commitment to excellence are what set us apart.
